      Top segment of horizontal pipe has to line up with a segment on the vertical pipe...look closely at his hidden geometry 🤓

            I see now... ☀
            So to recap: DON'T use EEbyRails for making Fillets between Rounded Legs and Arms etc - instead USE Fredo's 'Round Corners' - it's quicker and produces better results !
            Blajnov - it might be best if you edit / retitled your SKP without reference to EEbyR, to avoid confusion 😄

              Here's a way to make a Multi-Railed Mesh with EEbyRails by making sub-meshes and combining them...EEbyRailsMultiRailSteps.pngEEbyRailsMultiRailSteps.skp

                  I don't understand you diagram.
                  You can already do this ?
                  Are you wanting some sort of 2-face FollowMe ? Just use the faces edges [welded into a curve] as your Rails ?
                  With EEbyRv2 [that is about to be launched] you will be able to choose the Profile, Rail1 and Rail2 and then a 'Melding-Profile' that fixes the end form too - is that what you want ? It will allow a definite start and end profile location form to be predefined...
                  ❓

                      Yes,it could be "2-face +2-path+FollowMe" 😍
                      I also do not have this plug-in, I use the LATHE. RB command generates images shown, as you said, the first path to the same, choose the second Rails as a control Rails
                      "lathe" you can see it http://www.sketchupbbs.com/thread-40382-1-1.html

                                very fun indeed. Is there a toolbar? I get the command in my Plugins Tab, but Is there an onscreen toolbar as well?

                                If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                  No Toolbar yet OR webdialog BUT it's on the list - trying to get v2 and segmentation right first...

                                    Here's v2 - now allows a final 'melding-profile' if desired and facets minimized...

                                        Amazing work on the new version. You've created almost a patch method with really clean mesh results. THis is going to make a lot of people happy!

                                          This plugin deserves its own toolbar... what about adding one?

                                            Thanks for the button pngs.
                                            Now I've got it working v2.1 will probably have a toolbar and I'm looking at consolidating the closing dialogs into a single [web]dialog... Might take a good few days as I am busy on other things right now...
